How you'll learn
100 % online training on the SEIUM Institute campus, with downloadable material, recorded classes and an assigned technical tutor. No fixed timetables: students progress at their own pace within the intake, which makes it possible to combine with work.
Each module combines theory, guided reading of the original standard and applied exercises. The working software is SAP S/4HANA, Siemens Opcenter, Hyperledger Fabric, Circulor, Microsoft Power BI, in free, academic or evaluation versions. The case studies are based on real procedures for implementing the digital battery passport, containment of defective batches and supply chain auditing. Assessment is continuous, module by module, plus the final integrative project.
Build it end to end
Your final project follows the real engineering workflow, step by step, reviewed by your tutor.
Design traceability systems for cells, modules and packs.
Interpret the requirements of the European battery passport.
Select data technologies for traceability.
Manage batches and containment in manufacturing.
Maintain traceability throughout use and end of life.
